There are different ways to check MTN data Balance, and that’s what I am going to show you right now. So if that is the reason why you are here, then you are welcome. Seat tight and allow me to show you how you can check MTN data Balance in a more convenient way.
As you already know, MTN and as well as other Mobile telecoms in Nigeria have now started using a unified USSD code as instructed by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC). The new unified USSD code changed how we used to recharge our phones, check data balance, call customer care, and even recharge our phones.
Before now, there were many ways we used to find MTN data balance, but presently many of them are no longer working following the introduction of the unified USSD code across all mobile telecommunication in Nigeria.
Back then, you could simply type 2 in your message box and send it to 131 to see the details of your data subscription, but it doesn’t work anymore, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t see your data plan anymore because there are new working methods you can use to check your balance.

There are different methods to check MTN data balance, and they are as follows:
